Our sessions involve projection, although the extent varies. The projection takes place on both Ruburt’s part and my own, and represents a psychic displacement of a kind.

You are not attempting a projection here. You are following levels of your own consciousness until you discover yourself in an environment of which the ordinary waking consciousness had been previously unaware. This is a relatively difficult feat, for the waking consciousness must not be shut off, or you defeat your purpose.

The ordinary waking consciousness is left intact, you see. Another portion of the self catches it unaware, leaves no ripple upon its surface, and looks beneath it to other layers of reality. You are watching the self in motion.

We must use analogies. It can be thought of as the most exterior projection of the inner ego. When you find yourself, so to speak, watching what you think of as the ego, then you are in contact with this portion of the self. It is aware of both conscious and subconscious motivations and realities, and it is also aware of projections into other fields of actuality. I have hinted before of these matters, for when I say that you will use this other portion of the self to examine waking consciousness and probe beneath it, I already presuppose a you that uses this self. In other words, you are already magnifying the limitations of the self and extending them.

There are, again, no limitations to the self, but those that you create. These become valid limitations for all practical purposes however. When you learn, and you are learning, to extend the limitations of your self, you simply become aware of what you are already. You become more aware, but there is always more to become aware of.

You do retain coded memory of these. The thoughts themselves, also psychic realities, were projected outward, changing and affecting the physical environment in direct and objective terms. They acted independently of you after their projection. Nevertheless they changed your (underlined) environment. Indeed, they form the environment.

Various levels of consciousness are projected from the self in much the same manner. They are united however as interior and subsidiary identities that are a part of your own, and they are sent out by the inner self for various reasons. The thought is a psychological reality, a psychological and psychic identity but not a structured personalized identity. The self may send out fragments of itself in projections. These may or may not be structured personalized identities though they will be dependent for their existence upon the whole self.
